It was only a matter of time with their negligent approach to protecting him. Unreal. Every time the Bills try to do something that flies in the face of conventional football wisdom, it blows up in their faces. EVERY SINGLE TIME. This. It LITERALLY sums it up. They constantly hire and over-empower people......and that power corrupts their ability to make simple, sound decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) I just can't say enough how much I believe this will be a blessing in disguise for Allen. It's entirely possible this elbow injury saves his career. Josh was sinking out there and on the verge of losing his teammates' confidence as well as his own. He wasn't improving despite what some fans had deluded themselves into thinking. Now he gets to go back to the drawing board while he rehabs. He has time to go through his throws and identify where he was messing up mechanically. He can see all the opportunities he was missing with open receivers, how he could have manipulated the defense, where he had additional time in the pocket, etc. He'll get to watch another QB go through game prep and debrief. For the first time all year, he'll get to look backward and with the benefit of hindsight he'll improve moving forward. By the time Allen comes back he'll be a better QB with a renewed appreciation for the opportunity life has thrown his way. He probably still won't be good enough, but he'll be much better prepared and with his confidence intact. He'll probably start to look like an NFL QB.

This is such a ridiculous statement to basically say he was going to fail entirely and have his career ruined if he didn’t get hurt that it’s not even worth the time to explain why it’s so ridiculous. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d get the surgery with a planned august return, but perhaps I’m overworrying. That said, as @BADOLBILZ knows, these never heal. Ever. You just hope they don’t tear more. collateral ligaments such as the UCL can heal a lot better than cruciate ligaments such as the acl when sprained. the acl does not heal well when there is a partial tear because there is not a lot of blood flow to that area. MCL and LCL tears are similar to UCL tears as they are for varus and valgus support. cooper kupp just sprained his MCL this weekend and will be back soon. EJ was back somewhat soon after he sprained his LCL in the cleveland thursday night game. Those type of injuries are somewhat similar to Josh's UCL injury in terms of healing even though they are different joints. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasaluki Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Yeah. In no way was injuring his elbow a career saving move. What I will go so far as to agree with is he MAY might be better prepared for when he returns. But the downside of this is if people think Allen is a loser wait until they get a look at our other QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 It's why I wanted a blocking TE ( a OT ) until they get a viable OL. I just hope Allen can return 100% however long it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that before or after the Bills start looking like an NFL team ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenWillBust Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) It would be so Billsy that Allen comes back from this injury and no longer has the cannon arm, ya know, the reason the Bills drafted him, so he could throw through the Buffalo weather or somesuch nonsense. He'd still be a terrible QB either way. At lest we don't have to wait 1.5 seasons while he recovers from Tommy Johns to find out he's a bust, so there's that.

Also no excuse for why it took them until week 6 to bring in a proper vet after they decided McCarron was not worth keeping when there was a 5th round pick on offer. Going with Allen and Peterman felt horribly like going with EJ and Tuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been out of town, so just to make sure I have it right - Allen was hit by a bus, legally dead for 5 minutes, then the LAMPing doctor amputated his throwing arm rather than treating his spleen? So Billsy!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I do think Allen is likely gonna miss more than 3 games. If he is back before Thanksgiving weekend I'd be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
